Im a bodybuilder. I eat only eggs chicken beef and rice. I eat my food clean no spices or seasonings. Timed eating schedule and i know it does not help that i spend hours in the gym with sweat all over me but i get a shower as soon as i get done training and wash my infected areas. I have a script for doxycycline but i dont think i want to take them until i try washes and such first. Stress i have none. Sleep I sleep 6-8 hours a night. They are small spots and just popped up everywhere over the years on my back and there are scars. There are a few new ones. Since i got my hormones correct now. I dont have the problem of flare ups and huge new breakouts. I just want to get rid of the scars and new spots from coming up. My shoulders some days a are perfectly clear and some days its as though i get spots over night......
do u take protein shake?
ur diet is bad.really?
no veggies.no fruits.
u are likely to be vitamin deficient.
also so much of meat and rice (all day,everyday) is not good.
spices/herbs/seasonings are anti-inflammatory - specially turmeric,ginger,garlic,chilli etc.
limiting salt is good - but it depends on ur sodium-potassium ratio so cutting off salt is not a must!
weight lifting causes acne in many people.so u will have to check that aspect for urself.
may be stop weight lighting for a while and see if it has any positive effect.
use a mild bha wash.
